just watching the water,
undulating like a silk blanket of deep dark green on one side of the jetty, and catching the light in gold flashes, like a floating fire the other side.
it made me wonder at this amazing world we live in, 75% water, an unequal equilibrium to enable us to survive, nature's perfect math
and we, tiny beings that we are, crowding onto the 25% land
we do not respect her genius that has allowed earth and its beings to evolve for billions of years.
we, smaller than than a grain of sand in time, we strut like we own the place
and worse, we trash the place.
how are we doing it, we are able to block the sun for the smog, fill the oceans with plastic and oil like its our personal waste bucket and we can do it so we'll, this amazing earth is thrown out of balance
she shows her anger by spewing hail in places that have never seen it, uprooting trees and flinging them across town, flooding lands in deluges creating mudslides,
the world is out of whack
and we have done it
what right do we have to not respect the delicate balance that keeps us alive and instead pull the rug from our own feet, burn our own homes and condemn our future to a world unlivable?
